Greetings and salutations,
I found this forum yesterday while browsing Traditionalist Catholic subjects.  I was baptized and confirmed in the N.O. church but have decided to, as Matthew likes to put it, jump ship as its burning and swim for the life raft.  I live deep in Appalachia so finding a mass to attend will be an arduous journey.  I have located a CMRI congregation and a couple of SSPX parishes but they are all in the vicinity of a four hour round trip.  I have come hoping to learn, grow in my faith, and perhaps share some comradery.  May God bless you all.
Welcome! It seems that we have similar options for Mass. If you don't mind me asking, is the CMRI Mass site that you have located in Virginia? Because that's one of the ones that I go to whenever they do have Mass. It's a small mission at the moment that has Mass in a hotel conference room generally once a month, but if you want details about it I can PM you.

Welcome!  You’re fortunate to have a CMRI chapel near you, and it would be my choice. The SSPX(like the Novus Ordo) is only concerned with making money.
Maybe that statement is true of the SSPX as a whole or as far as the leadership is concerned, but not of many of it's priests and members.

Hello to everyone!

I am Josip (eng. Joseph) Rakušić from Croatia, 30 years old, married for 7 years with no children (I have problems with infertility). I live in a small town where I work in a family business.
Just a few kilometres from here is a border with Bosnia and Herzegovina. I used to go with my parents to Medjugorje.
For 15 years I have been researching "consipiracy theories", but just 4-5 years ago I became aware of the whole crysis in the Church, modernism, Vatian 2, etc. I can only attend Novus Ordo mass, because nearest Latin Mass offered by SSPX priest is more than 100 km away. I stopped going to Novus Ordo mass for a few weeks, but I'm scared if I'm committing mortal sin against 3rd God's commandment. I only watched live TLM masses on Youtube for now.
I need a helpful advice, you could send me a private message. 
Thank you for this forum, I enjoy reading some discussions. God bless you all!

Hi,

I am 22-year-old female living with my husband who is homesteading. I moved from the city (where I lived all my life) to be with him. We have free-range chickens currently. I'm planning on doing RCIA this Fall to become Catholic. I was not raised Christian so it's been a journey for the past 3 years.

I live in Canada where it's not so free so that's why my husband and I left the city. We can grow our own food and not as dependent on the government. We plan on homeschooling and having a big family.

I was part of a non-denominational church group at my university in 2019 but it caused me to doubt Christianity because of how shallow and fake the meet-ups were. I wanted to seek the truth and find meaning in my life since I was basically an atheist all my life. My brother (who's currently doing RCIA) told me about contraception not being allowed by the Catholic church last year, and it made me interested in the faith since.

My husband and I currently attend the Norvus Ordo mass (45 min drive) which is somewhat relevant compared to the other ones I heard about, and I hope it stays that way. I would like to attend a TLM but unfortunately, they're in the city which is 3-4 hours away. I have been interested in traditionalism for the past few years.

Here's a picture of our rooster, my friend...
How's your RCIA coming?
